Apply early — processing can be slow
The eVisa processing time is 3–5 business days on average, but it can take longer during peak travel seasons or if your application needs extra review. Don't wait until the last minute.

Save your eVisa, passport, and booking confirmations as PDFs on your phone and in cloud storage. If you lose the paper copies, you can still show them on your phone at immigration.
What happens at the border

Apply for the eVisa online

Before heading to the airport, gather your passport, printed eVisa, return ticket, and accommodation booking. Keep them in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
